LIN

Lafont Paris

The colour of this frame is reminiscent of the fall wine harvest in France – delicious! LIN is one of the new frames being introduced at SILMO by Lafont for spring/summer 2013 called “Rendez-vous”, and includes both optical and sunglass designs. The luscious acetate in LIN, is crafted into a classic shape, and highlighted with delicate temple detail. The perfect accessory for Autumn fashions! For more details, see www.lafont.com, or visit one of their stunning Paris boutiques to view the entire collection first hand. JG

F-06 Call Me Dan

Christian Roth

Sleek, rectangular and sexy, says Christian, for your ‘Mad Men’ look. Handmade in Japan and signed with the Peace symbol, Christian Roth’s optical line for Autumn/Winter is inspired by his own vintage collection from the 1980s. This frame – Call Me Dan – has a handsome, handmade acetate rim and temple ends combined with a pure titanium chassis. The colours are soft and graduated, here, black with grey tinted crystal, and the titanium has an antique brushed finish which is super trendy for the seasons ahead. I have always loved this iconic brand and this new direction in spectacle design comes highly recommended. www.christian-roth.com CN

Orgreen

This stunning frame from Orgreen has artistic flair with its lovely graduated colour scheme that begins at the top, and continues with a subtle pattern that ends in transparency on the bottom. Acetate and titanium harmonize the temple details. The contemporary rectangular shape suits many different face shapes, and the overall effect is stylish and elegant. The various colour combinations co-ordinate well with autumn fashion tones. For more information, visit www.orgreen.dk JG

Elegance, refinement and luxury epitomize this beautiful design from Leisure Society. Precious materials – an 18K gold frame and buffalo horn temple inserts – create an exceptional eyewear concept that is graceful, and exudes subtle, charismatic chic with its lovely matt and gloss two-tone effect. Titanium and acetate accentuate the side pieces. The colours are luxurious as well — Gold/tortoise (above) plus silver/black and silver/smoke. Further details at www.leisure-society.com JG

Sovereign

Wooden Eyewear from Rolf Spectacles

Cars are a continuing inspiration for the Austrian based eyewear company Rolf Spectacles. For the latest collection, the elegance and beauty of the Daimler – the British car that is a favourite of kings and queens – has influenced the beautifully crafted frames in stunning natural woods, including walnut, bog oak and maple. Sovereign takes its design cue from the classic, unadorned and harmonious lines that have made Daimler an enduring favourite. All Rolf Spectacles frames are handmade with exacting craftsmanship in Tirol Austria. www.rolf-spectacles.com JG
